    Summary

    Soulmates bloomed like wildflowers through pain—each bruise a petal, each scar a stem. Love wasn’t spoken. It was grown. Quietly. Brutally. Beautifully. To be someone’s soulmate wasn’t to save them. It was to bleed where they bled. To bloom where they are broken. And still choose to stay in the garden.

    Summary

    “Wh— what?” Tommy choked out, his voice hoarse from the lack of use all day.

    The man rolled his eyes, as if he didn’t just ask a completely impolite question. “I said, do you have any booze?”

    Tommy sat still. He reached into his jacket pocket, his hand finding only a plastic pen. Could he stab this man with a plastic pen?

    Tommy pulled said piece of plastic out, visibly holding it up. “I have a pen.” Something about the bemused look on the man's face made Tommy click it, and again, repeatedly.

     

    click click click click click click click click—

     

    ...

    or; Tommy planned on dying. He meets Wilbur instead.

    Summary

    Six years Tommy has spent his life stuck in this hellish routine of foster care. Thrown from house to house, the boy has long given up on the hope of finding a new home. A new family. Alas, his social worker has not yet given up on this foolish dream and is now sending him to a new family. The Watsons. How is Tommy supposed to feel when this family lives hours out of town, away from people, surrounded by forest? The father seems nice, but that's bound to change. The first brother is bloody terrifying. The second hates his guts. (The feeling is mutual buddy). And now he's stuck with them for Prime knows how long. Oh joy.
    But maybe this family is a bit more than what's at the surface. Maybe, he'll be alright. Maybe.
